About The Position

Sky Eye Measurement is seeking a Piping Designer to produce piping layouts, general arrangement drawings, isometrics and supporting deliverables for industrial, energy and facility projects. This is a hands-on production design role suited to a designer with roughly five to ten years of piping design experience who can work independently on defined scopes of work, mentor junior staff, and take a package from concept through issued-for-construction. Piping Designers 3D model plant equipment piping and structural in accordance with company and client specifications. They locate plant equipment to ensure good design practice for operation and maintenance. Working under the direction of a Lead Designer or Project Engineer, the Piping Designer will develop 3D piping models and 2D deliverables from P&IDs, equipment data and client specifications, and will coordinate with process, structural, mechanical and electrical disciplines to deliver constructible, code-compliant designs.

Apply relevant codes and standards including ASME B31.1 and B31.3, ASME B16 series, CSA B51, ABSA requirements and applicable provincial regulations.
Check and self-check drawings for completeness, accuracy and adherence to project specifications prior to issue.
Check the work of junior designers and drafters, providing redlines, direction and technical mentorship.
Maintain drawing registers, revision control and squad-check records in accordance with company and client document control procedures.
Produce as-built markups and update deliverables to reflect final installed conditions.
Contribute to continuous improvement of company drafting standards, templates, spec catalogues and design procedures.
